Product Manufacturing Companies Can Be Many Things

What Inertia is:

We are obsessed with delivering outstanding quality, speed and customer service experience

We are a strategic partner for forward thinking, growth oriented brands and product OEM companies

Based in Toronto, Canada – Inertia serves both local clients, as well as those in the United States.

What Inertia is Not:

We are not a “lowest cost” vendor. We compete competitively on service, quality and speed.

Inertia is not a traditional manufacturing company in that we don’t produce components or assemblies on premises

Inertia is not a middle man, broker, or agent. We consider ourselves to be “manufacturing sherpas” help you with the strategy and heavy lifting to guide you through the entire product manufacturing launch and quality control process.

Inertia's Product Manufacturing Process

The success of any project hinges on the up-front planning. Our team collaborates with you to create product manufacturing plans and quality specifications, evaluates your design for manufacturing readiness, manufacturing method evaluation to then create a project scope that contains detailed product manufacturing timelines, budgets, etc.

To find manufacturing facilities that are right for your business is of course one of the most important steps in the product manufacturing process. Inertia has a detailed process for finding, evaluating and qualifying manufacturing facilities which significantly increases the chances for success. Check out the exact Manufacturer Evaluation Checklist we use to qualify our manufacturing partners.

Once initial planning is completed, we determine more granular product specifications and interrogate the product design to make sure it is ready to be manufactured. Our product development team can guide and prepare designs so they are manufacturing feasible so they can be manufactured efficiently to meet your business model cost targets, and with the level of quality your customers requires. From detailed component and assembly drawings with Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing to electronics schematics there is a mountain of documentation that needs to communicate the design intent so you to ensure success.

After all plans specifications have been compiled and finalized, we produce “pre-production” prototypes as a final gate before releasing designs for mass manufacture. These prototypes are then used for you to evaluate final fit, function, finish as well as for design validation and even pre-certification testing.

So you have product designs, drawings, schematics, prototypes you’re all set now. Not so fast. How will you communicate whether the manufacturer has made good product or not? While the documentation has most of the information the manufacturer needs, the expectation has not yet been set for quality. How will the manufacturer check the project at each stage of the manufacturing process to ensure quality, how often will they check it, what kind of countermeasures do they have in place, these are all questions that need to be asked and a plan specified. For more detail, you can check out our Quality Planning Checklist and On-going Quality Management Checklist.

At Inertia, our team employs Pre-Production Approval Process (PPAP) checks at production launch to ensure products meet their intended design requirements. Once the prototype meets the desired quality and capabilities, Inertia will manufacture your product. We employ top industry standards in our manufacturing facilities and have a team with the skills and passion necessary to complete even the most complex jobs in a timely, efficient fashion.

The Inertia team is exceptionally good at communication – it is their clear differentiator. Their team is very hands on and flexible. They really care and go above and beyond to make sure things are done right.

Tino Alavie, President & CEO, Qvella

The team at Inertia is honest, straightforward and their drive to work collaboratively really stood out for us. They are also meticulous and do what they say they will do. If we were to attempt this kind of product development in house it would have taken us 5 times longer.
